[Sorry if you get this again, I'm not sure my message reached the world :-) (I said Distribution: World, I think it should be comp ). So here it is again: ] Today I tried to compile XView 2.0 on a SparcStation and on a Sun 3/50 with SunOS 4.0.3. Unfortunately I did not succeed, I got the following error: > making all in ./lib/libxvol/frame... > ln -s ../../libxview/xstrings strings > rm -f frame.o shared/frame.o > cc -E -DSHAREDCODE -DSUNSHLIB -O -I/homes/triton/X11R4/more_contrib/XView/xview2/build/usr/include -I/usr/include frame.c \ > | xstr -l _libxview_xstr -c - > cc -pic -DSHAREDCODE -DSUNSHLIB -O -I/homes/triton/X11R4/more_contrib/XView/xview2/build/usr/include -I/usr/include -c x.c \ > -o shared/frame.o > cc: Fatal error in cpp: Segmentation fault > *** Error code 1 Fortunately I found a workaround for this problem: In line 223 of config/XView.rules insert -Qoption cpp -P after $(CC). Then cpp doesn't dump core anymore. But this is not the only problem I had (and have) with XView 2.0 . I tried to print xview2/doc/conversion/Book.ps on our LaserWriter 2 and on our LaserWriter Plus, but after page 13 each printer says: %%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: getinterval ]%% %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% (pageview from OpenWindows 2.0 dies after page 13, too). How can I print this document (I need it!). Next problem: Where has WIN_EVENT_STATE gone ??? I can`t find it in the header-files, but cv2xview doesn't complain about it. Remember: I wasn't able to print the conversion document :-) And another problem: In xview2/config/XView.obj I had to change the lines BuildIncludes($(HDRSPUBLIC),$(PUB_INCDIR),/**/) BuildIncludes($(HDRSPUBLIC),$(XVPUB_INCDIR),/**/) BuildIncludes($(HDRSPRIVATE),$(PRI_INCDIR),/**/) BuildIncludes($(HDRSPRIVATE),$(XVPRI_INCDIR),/**/) to BuildIncludes($(HDRSPUBLIC),$(PUB_INCDIR),.) BuildIncludes($(HDRSPUBLIC),$(XVPUB_INCDIR),.) BuildIncludes($(HDRSPRIVATE),$(PRI_INCDIR),.) BuildIncludes($(HDRSPRIVATE),$(XVPRI_INCDIR),.) 'cause the first version built symbolic links of the form alert.h -> ../../../..//./lib/libxvol/notice/alert.h ^^ in xview2/build/usr/include/xview, and so the header-files couldn't be found. Last and least a problem with imake in general: It should be possible to set StripInstalledPrograms to YES without these annoying problems with shellscripts (strip doesn't like them: [...] install -c -s xmkmf /usr/bin/xview install: xmkmf not in a.out format. *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install' ) Phew, that was all for now. I hope, someone out there in netland can help me. Regards, Swen PS. Dont't mind my bad english ----> Swen Thuemmler * X-Betreuung * <swen@uni-paderborn.de> <----

I'm trying to build xview2 and am running into so many problems that I
must be doing something wrong. I'm on a Sun4 running Sun OS 4.1.
I installed the xview2.tar.Z.a[a-i] files, built the Makefiles, and then
did a make World and during the makedepend part I find that header files in
xview_private and olgx_private aren't being found. In fact, the olgx_private
directory doesn't even exist under build/usr/include. Here are a few of
the hundreds of error messages that come spewing out:
depending in ./lib/libxvin/attr...
../../.././util/makedepend/makedepend -s "# DO NOT DELETE" -- -I../../../. -I..
/../.././build/usr/include -- attr.c attr_copy.c attr_cu.c attr_util.c
../../.././util/makedepend/makedepend: attr.c: ../../.././util/makedepend/maked
epend: cannot find include file "xview_private/attr_impl.h"
making all in ./lib/libolgx...
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `olgx_private/olgx_impl.h'
I managed to limp along past this by manually copying the needed .h files
into the private directories, but then I later run into an unresolved
structure called "colormapseg" referenced in /usr/include/cg9var.h.
Anyway, the README that comes with xview2 says that it builds cleanly on
Sun OS so I assume I missed something in the installation procedure. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

But, to my surprise, I found out that I had to tell Imake that TOPDIR is not TOPDIR of X11R4, but now TOPDIR of the XVIEW2 source tree! After that, the build was trivial. To build XVIEW2, I added the following to the bottom of site.def: #define TopDir /usr/local/src/X11r4/xview2 BINDIR = /usr/bin/X11 #define TOPDIR /usr/local/src/X11r4/xview2 Could someone please add this little tidbit of info to the docs?? As a postscript (no tm :-), I was somewhat dismayed at watching this bugger compile for about 4 hours (about that of the X11R4), chugging and chugging, only to create half a meg of executables in my /usr/bin/xview directory and a couple shared libraries (libxview.*, libolgx.*)!! Your milage may vary. :-) ___________ "If you can read this, you're not Chris Schanzle looking through the Hubble telescope." chris@suntan.ncsl.nist.gov
